Losing corruption stacks? (WVW)
They changed the stacking long ago because speedrunners used to carry two weaponsets with bloodlust and a damage modifier, so you now loose stacks when switching weapons. Also don’t stack on wolves, stack on players. Faster.
Alright, follow up question:
Sigil of corruption or geomancy?
Yes, you loose stacks when switching weapons.

For condi damage, Sigil of bursting (if your condi damage is already high, say 1500-2000) is quite nice alternative. It’s not as good as full corruption stats, but comes quite close, and you have it always, even if you die and rally in zerg, it’s there. Expensive though (15g+)
No excuse anymore for not giving ‘hide mounts’-option
No thanks to unidentified weapons.
torment beats everything
“Mentoring engineers / mesmers and showing you what you can do with your fantastic class!
Just pm me for my advice! Always eager to help!”
Between the two, corruption.
Personally, I prefer Torment as with Xyonon.
You’ll reduce max theoretical damage, but in practice it’s another condition to be cleansed, which is a very significant real world DPS improvement.
Additionally, the psychological effect of a large array of conditions on most opponents should not be underestimated.
(Of course, this is all opinion, unconfirmed by any empirical evidence).
